A Flightless Feathersday
New Zealand kÄkÄpÅ are large, flightless parrots who are primarily active at night. This illustration was created by David William Mitchell for The Genera of Birds, Vol. 1 (1844-49) by George Robert Gray.
Have you seen the common ostrich (Struthio camelus)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
The first photo is a male with chicks, the second is a female.
Day 418#: Ornimegalonyx oteroi
Today's animal of the day is Ornimegalonyx oteroi!

Also known as the Cuban giant owl, Ornimegalonyx oteroi was a species of giant owl that lived on the island of Cuba during the Late Pleistocene, around 126,000 to 11,700 years ago. It is currently the largest known owl species ever, at 3 ft 7 in tall, and due to its large size, it was either flightless or nearly flightless. Life on islands tends to evolve in strange ways to fill in the niches left empty by larger mainland animals. This allowed Ornimegalonyx to evolve a lifestyle and body plan similar to burrowing owls (though they are more closely related to owls in the genus Strix) but on a much larger scale. I should also clarify that they probably didn't burrow. I was mostly just referring to how they hunt. It's likely that they were ambush predators that would surprise and then chase after their prey before killing them with their large, powerful talons. They probably fed mostly on hutias (a type of large rodent that still has some species around today), and possibly even the Cuban flightless crane, which is also now extinct.

These owls were first discovered inside a cave in 1961, and due to the size and thickness of the bones, they were originally believed to be a species of small terror bird! It took until 1982 for these remains to be formally described, and when they were, it was initially believed that there were four distinct species within the genus: O. oteroi, O. minor, O. gigas, and O. acevedoi. However, a study in 2020 would later reveal that all of these species were actually just different individuals of the same species. Since O. oteroi was described first and was the type species, it got to remain valid while the other three were synonymized with it. However, a completely new valid species would be discovered around the same time called Ornimegalonyx ewingi, but I'll cover them another day.
Day 28 of #drawtober #extinctbirds2025 hosted by @smallerdelusions / @lesserdreams on is the Great Auk. Shown in the background is Eldey Island, Iceland, where the last known breeding pair were killed.

Detox Doodles of kiwi birds! They are basically walking cartoons!
Detox doodles are daily sketches I do to curb mindless scrolling. I sometimes do them throughout the day, but lately I've been doing them in one sitting. When I have the desire to scroll, I tell myself to save the time for doodling!
Short animate with "Flightless bird song" >:3
I think I finished this one last week
